Delhi Police summoned Telangana CM Revanth Reddy in Amit Shah doctored video case

Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy has been summoned to appear before Delhi Police's IFSO unit (Cyber Unit) on May 1 to join the investigation in a case related to the doctored video of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, sources said. Reddy has been asked to appear with his mobile phone allegedly used for posting the fake video on X, they added.

The summons come a day after the Delhi Police registered an FIR following complaints by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the BJP regarding tampered video of Amit Shah's rally circulating on social media. The Special Cell had registered a case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and relevant provisions of the IT Act.

According to the complaint filed by Sinku Sharan Singh, DC, Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C), some doctored videos are being circulated on social media with "the intent of creating disharmony among



communities which is likely to affect public tranquility and public order."

According to the complainant, links from which the videos were shared were also attached for further action.

A copy of the FIR was also sent to the IFSO unit of the Delhi Cyber Police.

Reacting sharply to the Delhi Police probe into the matter, Revanth Reddy alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is "using Delhi Police" to win elections.

"So far, ED, CBI and Income Tax were used by PM Modi and Amit Shah to win elections but today I got to know that Delhi Police has reached the office of Telangana Congress party. Someone posted something on social media and they have come to arrest the Telangana Congress president and Telangana CM. This means Narendra Modi is using Delhi Police to win elections now. No one is going to get scared, we will give you a befitting reply..." he said.
